For fans of All Rise, the good news is that the CBS drama will return for a second season. That news is especially thrilling for lead actress, Simone Missick, who earned an NAACP Image Award nod for her portrayal of Judge Lola Carmichael.
The announcement of the pick-up came Wednesday, just two days following the show’s groundbreaking finale. “It was challenging, but at the same time, we’re all really proud of what we were able to accomplish,” she tells ESSENCE.
On Monday night, the series finale made history as the first primetime series to be shot remotely. In fact, the episode, entitled “Dancing at Los Angeles,” mirrored the state of the world in which we’re all currently living with the COVID-19 pandemic at the center.
